Cosmic Run Let's You Try to Experience Intense Survival
Cosmic Run is a fast-paced single-player space roguelite game where you blast, build, and survive in a free demo for Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to the brilliant and ever-creative team at Zinktank Labs. Thank you can try free on Steam.
The Cosmic Run demo is live, and it’s your turn to escape on Linux.
You’re not just piloting a ship; you’re throwing yourself into a desperate, adrenaline-fueled sprint through a galaxy that wants you dead. The Zogark family is on your tail, your hull’s falling apart, so your only shot at survival is outgunning, outbuilding, and outsmarting every galactic nightmare that comes your way.
Think Vampire Survivors but tossed into the neon chaos of Rick & Morty’s universe, where every choice feels explosive and every second counts.
Fight, Build, Survive, Escape
Cosmic Run doesn’t waste time easing you into the single-player space roguelite. You’re dropped right into the action lasers firing, enemies swarming, chaos unfolding. It’s short, it’s intense, since every run feels like a fight for your life.
Here’s what makes this cosmic madhouse so good:
145+ Weapon & Passive Upgrades – Your arsenal is ridiculous. Guns, drones, shields, engines. Since each run throws different combinations your way.
14 Permanent Upgrades – Build up your base stats between runs and start stronger each time. Think of it as your lifeline after a brutal defeat.
Dynamic Ship Customization – This is where Cosmic Run shines. Every run, you build your ship from scratch. So choose from 12 unique weapons and 12 powerful modules, mix them up, and adapt to whatever the galaxy throws at you.
Procedurally Generated Upgrades – No two runs play the same. Ever. You’ll be forced to think on your feet, experiment, and maybe, just maybe, also stumble upon the perfect build that melts everything in your path.
The integrated dialogue system is a genius touch. Your ship and its crew chatter in real-time — not with long cutscenes, but quick, smart bursts of dialogue that keep you locked into the action. They’ll throw you advice, jokes, and snippets of story that build the world while you’re blasting through it. It’s immersive, dynamic, and surprisingly human for a game that’s basically cosmic chaos.
A Demo That Packs a Punch
The Cosmic Run demo isn’t some watered-down teaser. You get about 15 minutes of pure, heart-pounding gameplay that perfectly captures the vibe of this space-survival madness. It’s fast, frantic, and just long enough to make you want more the second it’s over.
Whether you’re on Linux, Mac, or Windows PC, the Cosmic Run single-player space roguelite is out there, ready for you to take it for a spin on Steam.
So fire up your engines, pilot. The galaxy’s closing in. The Zogarks are coming. And there’s only one way out…
Fight. Build. Survive. Escape. The release date is still due in late 2025.
